Hannah Phillips Hale, LPC

Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with seven years as an LPC and over 16 years total working in mental health. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anger, and related concerns. Hannah also lists work with bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, and LGBT issues among her practice areas.

Hannah describes therapy as a partnership. She uses straightforward, present-focused work to identify small, achievable goals first. That often builds confidence and makes longer-term changes easier to manage.

Art-based methods are a regular part of her practice. She is a Registered Art Therapist who is working toward Art Therapy Board Certification and uses simple creative exercises even when a person has no art experience. These activities are offered as a way to explore feelings, notice patterns, and try different ways of expressing difficult emotions such as anger or grief.

Her approach also draws on evidence-informed styles like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. She emphasizes learning practical skills, practicing them in everyday life, and reflecting on what works.

Hannah has worked in many settings including in-home visits, schools, outpatient offices, and community programs. That background shapes how she helps people handle stress, repair communication, and make steady behavioral changes over time.
